President’s
Message
February is the month for love, right? Valentine’s Day…it’s a good Hallmark holiday that is supposed to make sure we give a little something or make a little effort for those we love! My hope is that we all try to give as much effort as we can, all the time, for the ones we love! Life can change in a split second, so love and value all those that you hold dear! I want to thank Access Bank for hosting our January meeting. The January meeting was the first meeting since I have been a member where we actually had to cancel or postpone a meeting. We ended up with 30 attendees at the rescheduled meeting and our speaker, Lindsay Toussant who filled in for Erin Sullivan of Ironhawk, was wonderful! Lindsay sits on the board and provided an overview of the club and how it supports all those young girls. The organization gives them confidence and empowers them to go the distance. If you were unable to attend, check out their webpage, https://ironhawkendurance.com/ironhawk-juniors-tri-club. We are definitely excited about having a booth at this year’s ICAN Conference on May 13th. This conference brings thousands of people to Omaha for a day of education, connection and networking. By having a booth, we will be able to touch numerous individuals to tell our story of who we are and what we do. Our goal is to be able to introduce a guest to EWI and increase our membership. More information will be provided at our February meeting. I hope to see all of you at our February meeting, located at J. Gilberts restaurant. This event will be amazing as we get to see Chef Jimmy at his finest and partake in a fabulous meal. This would be a great event to bring a guest! Happy love month as you are all Valentines to me!!
Jonna Radtke President EWI of Omaha 2019-2020

ATTENTION MEMBER FIRMS - The Programs Committee has a wonderful slate of programs we are working on organizing for the year, however, we are still in need of at least 2 meeting locations to hold our monthly chapter meetings. If your own member firm would be willing to let us use your meeting space, please email Cindy Brickey at [email protected] or Susan Hussey at [email protected] at your earliest convenience. Even though we have most of our speakers planned for this year, any time you hear a great local speaker or if you have a great idea for a topic, please send that information to us and include any contact info you have as well. If we can't fit it into this year, we would love to plan even farther out. Our committee would love to save as much meeting rental dollars and put more into better speakers/programs to offer. Thanks!!
